Maison Leroy is one strand of the Leroy group, which also includes Domaine Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay. The négociant business which is based in Auxey-Duresses was originally founded in 1868 by François Leroy, winemaker and owner of vines in prime sites such as Pommard, Chambertin, Musigny, Clos Vougeot and Richebourg. Today the maison is owned and run by the great-granddaughter of the founder, Lalou Bize-Leroy, also known as ‘the Queen of Burgundy’. This 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin is a medium-bodied expression, displaying notes of red fruits, hawthorn and lychees, finishing on a mineral note.
